Tokyo, everyone is drawing comics, who still wants to fall in love?

As soon as Minister Hyakki left, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

Saburo Mikami walked towards Oda Shingo with a smile on his face.

"Teacher Oda, I am Saburo Mikami, the director of the web department of Qunyisha. Thank you very much for taking out your precious time." Saburo Mikami shook hands with Oda Shingo very solemnly.

He called him Oda-sensei, not Oda-kun.

In fact, many editors refer to ordinary comic book authors by their last name, without even bothering to use the character "jun". As a minister, he was really very polite.

Both parties took their seats.

Saburo Mikami took out his business card, sat down and wrote on his phone very seriously.

The two stood up again and politely handed over their business cards.

Well, Oda Shingo didn't have a business card, so he directly added line friends.

Once you have your identity, you don’t need a business card. He is good at settling accounts. Anyway, the circle he has recently come into contact with is not too large, and there is no need to print.

The printing fee for Japanese business cards is not expensive, but the design fee is more expensive. If you don't have a template, say at least five thousand yen is required.

"Oda-kun, is it convenient for you to come here?" Saburo Mikami started a very standard business negotiation.

When talking about business, people in Tokyo like to chat all over the place and talk about the business for a long time before getting down to business.

If the two of them were in a midnight tavern, they would probably not have said a word about the sale until they were so drunk that they even took off their clothes and performed a fan dance.

Oda Shingo also chatted directly with him.

The two chatted happily for a quarter of an hour, ranging from the geography and culture of Tokyo to their respective hometowns, and no one mentioned a word about "One Punch Man".

As expected of someone who sat in the position of the head of the Heroic Society at such a young age, and he had just been holding back some bad news, Oda Shingo looked at Saburo Mikami with a smile on his face.

Oda Shingo's expression was as if he had met a close friend who had been a close friend for many years.

Mikami Saburo's expression was as if he had met his half-brother by chance.

Is this Oda Shingo really only in his early 20s? Mikami Saburo secretly told him that this young man should not be underestimated.

After chatting for so long, it is not that everything is perfect, but that there are retreats and advancements to a higher level. Sometimes, I even can’t keep up with his thinking!

An ordinary young cartoonist looks like a cowering quail in front of me, or at least a fledgling that has not spread its wings.

But Oda Shingo gives me the feeling at this moment, like a red-crowned crane that can already spread its wings and fly to achieve great things!

"Oda-kun, your "One Punch Man Web Version" is a work with great potential!" Saburo Mikami finally couldn't help but get to the point.

"I saw Minister Mikami's support yesterday." Oda Shingo glanced at Todo Koucho, who had been serving as an eye-catching background next to him, "Tell me about the current data."

"Hi Yi." Todo Xiangcheng jumped to the backend of the comic author's website. "Currently, there are more than 36,000 collections, and the community's active popularity ranks fifth."

When he said this number, Toudo Xiangcheng's heart skipped a few beats.

Too fast! Yesterday it was still 20,000 collections, but today it has increased so much? !

"Oda-sensei's web collection performance is very good." Minister Mikami naturally knew it. A few minutes ago, he was staring at the background data in front of the screen.

But he had already been shocked by such results.

This is not an ordinary work, but the painter's work from the same period, just like a flying thing!

In the comics market thirty years ago, people would have despised someone for being such a bad artist!

But even so, you can still achieve such a high collection score!

"I am really honored to have the opportunity to be published on the Qunyingsha web site!"

"No, it's because Mr. Oda's works are so outstanding that he has achieved such rapid progress."

The two people complimented each other on business and the atmosphere was very good.

Saburo Mikami was appropriately prepared to get to the point of the signing: "So Mr. Oda, how much do you know about product buyouts..."

"Oh? I really don't understand..." Oda Shingo looked innocent.

At this time, a discordant female voice intervened.

"Teacher Oda, our web scores have improved by leaps and bounds. Is it because we were not taken seriously in the past and were not recommended at all? As an old reader, I know best." Todo Kouchi had a stubborn expression on his face.

Here we go, this is a well-rehearsed script. Todo Xiangcheng felt proud, was my performance okay?

"..." After hearing what the young assistant said, Mikami Saburo's expression froze almost invisible.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Oda Shingo scolded.

"But, this is a fact!" Todo Xiangcheng perfectly performed the role of a scam assistant according to the previously arranged script, "If we want to buy out, if Group Yingshe doesn't recommend it to us, it will be lower than the contract price. We are afraid that we will suffer a big loss from the agreed results.”

"That's nonsense!" Oda Shingo glared.

"I'm telling the truth! Mr. Oda, I have seen on many websites that some editors will trick novice authors into signing buyout agreements. If they lose money, the work will be cut in half. If they make money, the author's income will be reduced. Cut in half, no, even just earn hard-earned money.”

Saburo Mikami's expression changed.

You are trying to overthrow my old bottom line of buying out! How can I proceed with negotiating a buyout?

The buyout agreement is like grass jelly to the author. But for authors with outstanding achievements, they are poison to capitalists!

"Minister Mikami won't cheat me! And I don't understand buyouts. You have to sign a share-sharing agreement, otherwise I'm afraid of being cheated." Oda Shingo persuaded his assistant with serious words.

"Ahem, Mr. Oda, I think I need to explain." Sansaburo Mikami quickly changed the subject, "Your work was misjudged before, and we have corrected the mistake in time."

"Thanks to Minister Mikami's support. I have noticed that since you called yesterday and took care of this comic, I have felt your full sincerity."

"Ahahaha, it's best that Mr. Oda can notice my sincerity." Sansaburo Mikami smiled like a flower.

"Of course, of course, hahaha." Oda Shingo smiled even more.

"So..." Sansaburo Mikami tried to buy out, but felt that he couldn't continue, so he stopped talking about this topic, "I think your web version and remake should be carefully planned!"

"Yeah, thank you Minister Mikami for listening to my ideas." Oda Shingo nodded, "I am considering continuing to update the web version for free to divert traffic to the remake, and the remake will be published in our magazine "Jump"!"

"..." Sansaburo Mikami said in his heart, this is the main topic!

The main purpose of today's negotiation by Saburo Mikami is to try to buy out all the copyrights of One Punch Man!

The essence of the buyout has been seen through, and it is impossible to continue to propose a buyout, so at least "One Punch Man" must be kept in the web department!

Saburo Mikami also agrees very much that "One Punch Man Web Version" is used as a free diversion.

But he hopes that the remake of "One Punch Man" will only be serialized on the website! Only published on the website under the jurisdiction of the web department in an electronic payment method!

"Oda-kun, the development of websites has become more and more popular now, and apps are also the first choice for young people. Our web department has developed from both websites and apps, and many comic authors have obtained objective benefits!" Saburo Mikami is like the best salesman, "Have you ever considered trying to serialize the remake only in the web department? And there is very generous serialization support!"

"Only serialize in your department?" Oda Shingo's eyes seemed to light up.

Just when Saburo Mikami saw his reaction and was happy in his heart...

"I object!" The voice of the girl's assistant sounded again.

Fujido Kaoru raised her hand with a big gesture, interrupting the conversation between the two.

Oda Shingo, who was right next to her, quietly moved to the side, especially his arm was much further away from her.

My assistant is good in every way, but she is too "fierce"!

Minister Mikami Saburo simply hates such an assistant!

He rarely couldn't control his anger, although he didn't flare up, but stared at Oda Shingo.

The meaning was very clear: control your female assistant!

"Fudo-kun! When is it your turn to interrupt! What qualifications do you have to interrupt!" Without him saying it, Oda Shingo had already consciously scolded Fujido Kaoru.

"I'm all for you! Do you think I like to interrupt? I'm just afraid that you will suffer a loss!" Fujido Kaoru performed according to the script.

Although her expression was a little unnatural, it did not affect the performance.

It's just that these words suddenly came out of the fierce girl, and it always felt like they would be distorted...

At this moment, Assistant Okita next to him suddenly cried out.

"What's wrong?" Mikami Saburo asked unhappily.

"There... there seemed to be someone outside the window just now..." Assistant Okita looked out the window with wide eyes.

"Okita-kun, have you been too busy at work recently?" Sankami Saburo didn't take it seriously at all, "This is the sixth floor, how could there be someone outside the window!"

Oda Shingo: "..."

As long as you are not telling the truth, you may be wrong.

Next to him, Fujido Kaoru continued to speak the lines he had prepared.

"Teacher Oda, the main publication of "Jump" is the direction of all cartoonists' efforts, and it is the holy land for cultivating cartoon masters! How can you give up the opportunity for the petty profits of the web site?" Fujido Kaoru stubbornly retorted, seemingly wronged and tearful, "What's more, the web site didn't tell you any conditions!"

Although the acting is a bit poor, this sentence is crucial.

Sankami Saburo's body froze when he heard it.

Is this the key that the assistant can understand? He began to think about it.

"Minister Mikami, please forgive my assistant, she is too reckless." Oda Shingo had a look of regret, "If it weren't for her excellent conditions and talent that is worth cultivating, I wouldn't let such a stupid guy stay by my side."

Yeah, the conditions are too excellent and the talent is worth cultivating... Oda Shingo said this, but he had another evaluation in his heart.

Pretend, you pretend with me! Mikami Saburo has been in the industry for so long, and he has already seen that the female assistant is a voice.

Oda Shingo, doesn't look like a young man in his early 20s, but more like a workplace veteran!

"By the way, Mr. Oda, you are not from Tokyo, but from Kyoto, right?" Mikami Saburo said as if joking.

He leaned forward and pressed his arm on the table.

Oda Shingo noticed his little action. Well, it seems that it's time for substantive negotiations.

"No, no, how could I be from Kyoto?" Oda Shingo seemed modest, "At least I don't know how to attract enemies to help me."

"..." Mikami Saburo was at a loss for words, and his smile froze.

Oda Shingo was still talking slowly.

"Just now, Minister Hyakki came over. Was it Minister Mikami who deliberately let him come over? It can be said that he was deliberate and just wanted me to publish in the web department."

Oda Shingo was like a heavy hammer, hitting the ground with a loud sound.

Having his little tricks exposed, Mikami Saburo felt a tightness in his heart.

He even subconsciously glanced out the window.

No one was there.

Okay, everything is fine. Yeah, I'm not nervous...

[Preview of next episode BGM, background dialogue sound]

Ah! There's someone in the window!

I'm nervous!

Minister Mikami, you don't want to be crushed, do you?

Teacher Oda, please don't look...
